Provus’ role grows with Uecker sidelined

Bob Uecker is expected to be away from the broadcast booth for 2 to 3 months after heart surgery on Friday. In his absence, Cory Provus will see his role expanded.

Under the present format, Provus shares the radio booth with Uecker and calls 3-innings of play-by-play. Starting tomorrow (Thursday), Provus will handle play-by-play for all innings, as well as Brewers pre-game and post-game work.

While the team is on it’s upcoming 10-game road trip, FS Wisconsin’s Davey Nelson will join Provus and serve as an analyst for the trip.
